Pretty hyped to have Bazzite working on my Ally after moving it to the testing branch, but any tips

Pretty hyped to have Bazzite working on my Ally after moving it to the testing branch, but any tips on how to get TDP controls working? While I usually play plugged in it would be nice to not have it nuke my battery when in portable mode.

@rodoma92 So I turned on IOMMU, works fine in Bazzite thankfully but in Windows, this is happening now

I seriously hope something hasn't gotten fucked up in my hardware, my Deck is barely old, I bought it when the buying queue was still a thing D;

Zelaf•12/25/23, 2:58 PM

Alright turning off IOMMU fixed that. Maybe just Windows shenanigans. Really need to get an external SSD for Windows or something so I can use only Bazzite lol

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 4:08 PM

what is everyone's preference for fan control on bazzite?

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:08 PM

LOL

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:09 PM

Yeah, IOMMU is probably fucked for now.

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:09 PM

They hard disable it even from the kernel command line IIRC.

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:10 PM

Being a device with everything integrated at least doesn't make it that much useful.

Zelaf•12/25/23, 4:11 PM

Except if I want to run a VM D;

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:12 PM

Nope

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:12 PM

That's vtd.

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:12 PM

IOMMU is for partitioning peripherals on the PCI bus.

RodoMa92•12/25/23, 4:13 PM

Which is not that useful on the Deck anyway XD

how did you install it? in a container?

Varis•12/25/23, 4:23 PM

I layered it, since it has a systemd service. Btw, here I talked about it before - 🎮bazzite

RRodoMa92 Which is not that useful on the Deck anyway XD

Zelaf•12/25/23, 4:24 PM

Oh, good

Varis•12/25/23, 4:25 PM

I think fan control is quite gaming-related. The app might be appropriate for a justjust command at least

Varis•12/25/23, 4:27 PM

also, interesting quirk. But sometimes after boot - I have no options to set a custom curve for my GPU fan. I have to shutdown the GUI, restart the service with sudo systemctl restart coolercontroldsudo systemctl restart coolercontrold and then the GUI shows the Custom curve option for the GPU

Varis•12/25/23, 4:27 PM

I imagine there's some race condition on boot preventing proper initialization

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 4:28 PM

on my system, at least, the GPU fan curve is controlled by the greenwithenvy app bazzite offers to install on first boot

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 4:28 PM

should that be uninstalled?

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 4:28 PM

if I use coolercontrol

Varis•12/25/23, 4:29 PM

I don't think so, but they might interfere with each other. I guess they use the same interfaces to set the speeds

Varis•12/25/23, 4:30 PM

I have set greenwithenvy to AUTO and use coolercontrol, since the latter handles more stuff

Hello everyone, Merry Xmas.
Question, I got a new SD card, and for whatever reason (I’m assuming Bazzite) auto mounts its factory exfat file system. The last sd card I had failed after about 3 months of use, and while I understand Bazzite wasn’t at fault, I remember hearing stories of the Steam Deck bricking cards when using the format function. Should I keep and use the file system as is since its working? Or is the benefit too great to not use btrfs? I just don’t want a repeat losing a whole 1TB card.

Kyle Gospo•12/25/23, 4:56 PM

our default is btrfs, that's what we recommend

Kyle Gospo•12/25/23, 4:56 PM

any issues with that, fall back to the valve default of ext4

Zelaf•12/25/23, 4:57 PM

I kinda want to switch my SD card to btrfs but I also don't want to loose all my games

Zelaf•12/25/23, 4:57 PM

There's like 300GB of games on it that I can't temporarily put anywhere

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:13 PM

I don't think it works with my hardware, sadly. I can see temps, but there's no option to set curves for anything.

Varis•12/25/23, 5:14 PM

have you tried the standalone appimage?

Varis•12/25/23, 5:14 PM

and you're talking about mobo/cpu fans, right?

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:15 PM

yeah

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:15 PM

mobo fans

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:15 PM

well, I can see mobo and gpu, but can't set any fan curves for either

Varis•12/25/23, 5:15 PM

on appimage?

Varis•12/25/23, 5:16 PM

or did you layer?

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:16 PM

I layered

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:16 PM

unless I'm just missing the button to edit somewhere

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:16 PM

I see temps and loads, but nothing else

Varis•12/25/23, 5:16 PM

try closing the GUI, restarting the service like I wrote and running the gui again

Varis•12/25/23, 5:17 PM

with sudo systemctl restart coolercontrold sudo systemctl restart coolercontrold

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:18 PM

nope, just the overview is there

Varis•12/25/23, 5:18 PM

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:18 PM

_cryptagion•12/25/23, 5:19 PM

that's all I got

Varis•12/25/23, 5:19 PM

strange

Varis•12/25/23, 5:19 PM

I didn't get the mobo fans, so I had to put in a separate kernel driver for those, but the GPU showed up always afaik
